the standard of the camp of Reuben

on Numbers 10:18-20

Reuben, Simeon and Gad move next, the south standard of Numbers 2:10-16. Reuben was the firstborn and walks fourth in the column, which Genesis 49:3-4 had explained and Numbers 2 had already fixed. The order of the march is the order of the camp down to the last name, so the arrangement holds when the nation is in motion.

The marching order is described (Nu 2:1-34); but, as the vast horde is represented here in actual migration, let us notice the extraordinary care that was taken for ensuring the safe conveyance of the holy things.
